In IMCA Stock Car action early cautions kept the field bunched tightly on the back bumper of Harley Simon. Once the race go rolling Justin Jacobsen sprinted past Simon for the lead. A caution on lap 10 erased any advantage Jacobsen had. On the restart Travis Van Straten blew past Jacobsen for the top spot. Van Straten never looked back scoring his 5th feature win a row. Jacobsen had to settle for second at the pay window, Mike Schmidt was third, Trent Nolan took fourth and Simon completed the top five.
Racin Jason Ebert looked to be the man to beat once again in the IMCA Sport Mod feature as he pulled out to a sizable advantage early. Midway through the contest point leader Jordan Barkholtz began working through traffic and into the runner up position. Barkholtz then set his sights on Ebert pulling by for the lead with 7 laps remaining. Barkholtz set sail, cruising to the win and padding his point lead. Ebert was second, Lucas Lamberies made a late race charge to third, Kevin Bethke was fourth and Kyle Raddant rounded out the top five.
Marcus Yarie took the lead from Shawn Frelich on lap 3 and never looked back en route to a dominating performance in the IMCA Modifieds. Jerry Wilinski rallied late to place second, Matt Oreskovich took third, Frelich was fourth and Mark Weisnicht took home a solid top five.
